NEWS		 30th Year Homecoming (October 11th): Crestview Missionary Baptist Church invites you to be with us as we look back upon the past 30 years of fellowship and doing the Lords work. Also remembered will be Dr. Harmon Hunt who was the founding missionary and intrumental in the leadership of our church. (Bro. Hunt went to be with the Lord this summer.) Members who have moved away, if you cannot make it back for the Homecoming, please send a letter with photos so that we will know that you are well and share your news. Former Crestview MBC pastor Larry Fondren will bring the morning message. Dinner will be served afterward. Members: sign up to bring food. See Denise Nichols.


10/02/09		 Make a Joyful Noise. For the upcoming Crestview Homecoming service on October 11, we decided to have a "Homecoming Choir." We have had so many good singers come through the church that we decided it would be impossible to have everyone sing separately. So, Bro. Chappell came up with the idea of having a Homecoming Choir. The idea was inspired by the Gaither Homecoming Shows where a bunch of soloist and groups come together and sing. I would like to invite anyone who has sung at the church previously to join our Homecoming group, particularly people who have regularly sung solos at Crestview. I am planning on the group singing two songs that remind me of the late '70's contemporary music. The two songs are "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power" and "Then Came The Morning." We will meet in the church sanctuary during the Sunday School time on October 11 to practice the songs. Also, these songs have solos, so I will need to find some folks willing to do that. I would like to provide the music to those who would like to familiarize themselves with these songs. If you would like to participate and/or get access to the songs, let me know.
